The point you made in your first paragraph brings up the idea that it may not be about the sex at all. Maybe it's about simply feeling accepted or wanting to feel connected to someone.

It's unhealthy to seek validation from anyone, doubly so when you then place the blame for your feelings and identity on others. That was the point of my post, as well as my personal explanation for "nice guys" and this band of misogyny. Women can do the same thing, though it often simply gets explained as "female…

That image seems so funny out of context. I'm at a loss to explain her gesture, but I imagine it to mean:

I'm a pretty "nice guy" and I have sex all the time. So there's one demerit, in the form of an anecdote.

I think we agree more than you seem to think, but I still don't think it's necessarily that simple. I think the "liberal cowardice" comes from not wanting to touch things that are shades of gray.

That's basically what I'm saying as well, but I think there is a little more nuance. Regardless of whether the state in question is Islamic or not, it's almost impossible to condemn an action like this without skirting on imperialism.

Unfortunately, the silence is probably political in nature. It's easy to point at people like Boko Haram and call them out for their injustices. They're a fringe element of their host society; they're an element of chaos and disorder, clear bad guys. It's all black and white.

I think that white suburban violence simply gets more coverage than other types but it's still for racist reasons. Black violence is invisible or expected but when a young, middle or upper class white male kills other young, middle or upper class white people it's outrageous to people. I think it just shows you who…

Shit man, it's easy to forget that even when you're IN a relationship. Getting along with someone and doing each other right can be hard work on both sides and it's always easy to renounce your part of the responsibility and start putting everything on someone else. But of course that isn't sustainable or fair.…

I see this all the time in clubs and I can't stand it anymore. Several times I have gone up to men who were harassing women that way and just put them in a head lock from behind and told them they could choose to leave or fight me. I have done that while bouncing or just hanging out. I'm not even very physically…

the ideology behind the mindset of the nice guy movement is so transparently pathetic that you feel the most compassionate thing you could ever do for one of the people who subscribes to it is to punch them in the gut and tell them to wake the Fuck up.

my girlfriend totally initiated contact with me and hit me over the head with her interest until I woke up and realized it. She didn't just make the first move, she made the second and third moves. And when I think back, that is definitely common for me.

"I have bad social anxiety that pervents me from asking girls out. Because society says men have to make all the first moves and females go along with this I'll probably never get laid"

There's a perverse kind of irony in the wizards claiming discrimination and defamation, then going to their boards and posting about feminist whores and the normalfags they dare to sleep with.

Oh, I feel so sorry for you sitting in your BMW in Hollywood with your rich parents and international vacations.

Certainly, but that's also something that could be done on a case by case basis by regular law enforcement or communications and technology regulators. I don't see how this could be any more effective than reviewing such cases individually as they are reported.

This is the true danger of allowing any government too much centralized power. Not tyranny, which is basically inevitable, but that they will expand their bureaucracy to the point where your taxes fund pornography specialists.

How are you going to learn if you don't try?

I'm with you, man. I think you've pointed directly at a major bias in game reporting. Fallout 3 or Skyrim are works of art with endearing bugs and glitches, but Fallout New Vegas is an unplayable mess even though it's using the same technology developed by Bethesda. It literally has the same issues Fallout 3 does.…

That part is cringe-worthy. One of the creepier moments in any game I've played recently.
